It is sad to realize the lack of talent in our leadership that has driven us to the precipice where our government might actually be shut down.

If there is a government shutdown, many people will be uncomfortable and inconvenienced. In one way, though, I almost hope it happens, because we will survive it, and it will display to everybody the utter disregard our leadership has for the welfare of the people. It will make evident that their priorities are their own pride, their own allegiance to their party, and their own selfishness, since they will not suffer at all from the shutdown.
